I have used Paradigm’s PT-1 proprietary wireless sub transmitter ($99) with a Monitor Sub 10, but it’s connection was poor. Latency can be an issue too. I really love the sub, but there is no question that hard wiring is the way to go unless you absolutely need certain placement that prohibits wires. I did also try the Rocketfish, which just didn’t work at all.

ManbearCheers, this is sort of what I suspected, so thank you for chiming in 🙏. I could run an RCA across the room, but I wonder if that’s an equally bad idea? Interference etc?

phosfiendMy pleasure! I’ve done some long RCA runs (30ft) with no noticeable interference issues. As long as you’re not entangling the sub cable amongst a bunch of other electronics and you have a decently shielded cable, all should be fine. Sub placement is tough because they never seem to sound as good in the most convenient location. You could try hiding it and play with phase adjustments. Or buy a nice rug. Lol. What sub and setup do you have?

ManbearNothing too fancy: a 7.1 surround wide setup made up of Athena speakers (they’re cheap) 4 of which are floorstanding towers. The sub is a humble Polk Audio PSW10.
With 90% of our watching time relegated to after our kids are in bed the setup rarely gets a workout.
I wish I’d done a bit more receiver research. It has 9 speaker outs, but can only drive 7 simultaneousl - I still debate whether a surround high setup would be better...

phosfiendWhat receiver are you using? Your unused channels could be used for presence speakers and can add a bit of height to your current setup.
I personally run a long coax cable between my subs and receiver and have never had any issues. I have a soundbad and wireless sub for my office and that unit works well without any lag or latency issues. But, that could be due to that soundbar system compared to a typical AVR wireless/bluetooth sub.

jaydunndidditA pioneer VSX-1124. The wiring diagrams clearly show 9.2 speakers connected but with the caveat that only 7 channels produce sound simultaneously. Was a bit of an impulse buy, I’ll do my research next time...
